MapMonkey.

You need Destinator 3.075 or later for the maps and the MapMonkey is its front end.
Perfect for Laptop installations.

also need the destinator sdk i think to make it work.

Have found that mapmonkey doesn't work as well as destinator on the PDA. Ihave just started using TomTom now on the PDA, maps are a bit better than destinator.

Been using it for round 12 months now and it has one really bad fault...

It Cant distinguish between a hwy and dirt road which sh!ts me to no end.


If u want mobile mapping Ozi is the best and if you want turn by turn and u have a recent mobile phone tomtom 5 mobile is all I will say...... ;p

Mine are all legit copys Officer....

if you have a laptop the destinator / mapmonkey combo is pretty much what is out there.

I've been playing with Destinator PN on my iPAQ running an SDIO GPS and it gives bloody useless instructions.

Today on the way to work, it had me travelling on a different road and kept going on about route recalcualtion, I was travelling above the speed limit (I wasn't), it wanted me to take wrong turns, to do U-turns, etc.

Yesterday, I had the same problems when going to Disco Inferno's business in Toongabbie. Destinator wanted me to do U-turns on the freeway, told me to take non-existant turn-offs - and if those turn-offs had existed, to turn the wrong way.

I certainly wouldn't trust it to give correct directions. Often when it was correctly directing me, the directions came too late.
